Warren Buffet and UPS

935
Hello I am the Cafe Trader.

There have been some wild days, and it's not over. Amidst all the stormy seas, and the major successes, I wanted to bring to your attention a stock that I think is becoming of great value.

UPS has been getting beat down for over three years, why?

Beatdown
- Trump Tariffs contributing to China slowdown. (35% of deliveries comes from China).
- Guidance downgraded due to uncertainties with the macroglobal scale, "spooking investors".
- UPS cutback dealings with amazon to increase profitablity (but also reducing volume and revenue.)

Just to name a few...

If such bad news, why buy?

Fundamentally their business model is strong, and the dividend is PAYING.

Dividends and Warren Buffett.
Buffett is still known to use a model by his mentor, Benjamin Graham. (if you don't know, take a little youtube shallow dive).

This has been used to build a large portion of how buffet evaluates a stock. Using his formula, the Maximum intrinsic value of UPS is $69.87

As of writing this article, UPS sits roughly 21% higher than that number. If we get close, even the fundamentalists may have a hard time passing this up.

Dividends
At 1.68 Dividend a quarter, that put's UPS at almost 7.91% yield!
So my thought process is; even if you lose 8% from Graham's buy price, you make up on the dividend in a year. (although I would be surprised if it touched that golden zone).

TLDR LONG TERM

Aggressive buy: $88 (we are below that right now)
Great Price: $75.50 - 80.50
Graham's STEAL: $71 or Below.

NOTE: Graham took other things about a stock into consideration as we, as you should as an investor. This article is meant to assist your own DD.

-Since this is charted on a weekly chart I have charted a probable 4-6 month swing. (almost 50% gain).
-It really does depend on where this bounces, we have already broke through some major levels.
-I have a feeling UPS drivers might be cashing out their 401k and panic selling.

That's all for UPS!

I hope you enjoyed the article, thank you for your time.
